They Must Not Have Died In Vain!
Memorial Day 1945
Memorial Day is not a holiday but a holy day. Memorial
Day is a pause in which to remember, those who died In all
our wars, those who perished in the last great holocaust, as
well as those who are dying in the inferno of the present war.
. Memorial Day* is a solemn day—one on which we, as a nation, should objectively consider the mistakes of the past,
and calmly face the problems of the future, resolving that
never again will we pay the price of a neglected duty.
> Memorial Day is a day on which we are all only Americans.
We do not think of celebrating it by groups of class or, race
or. creed. Whatever group loyalties bind us at other times—on
this day of the year we are only brother Americans.
*- In his tribute to the late President of'.the United States on
' last Columbus Day, the Attorney General said: "The Commander-in-Chief knows men and he knows war; and he knows
the American people. He knows that there is no question of
race on the beachheads and no question.of creeds in a foxhole. He knows that, as every race and creed have mingled in
pur streets—every race and creed lies buried at Arlington."
In war we are all one people. Our boys do not die as rich
•rtr poor, workingman or employer, Black or White, native
born or naturalized citizen, Protestant, Catholic, or Jew. They
die as Americans. We honor them as Americans who gave
their lives that there might not perish from the earth the
ideals of justice and liberty of all men, regardless of their
"mtee, creed, color or previous condition of servitude. They
have earned for their sons and daughters — and for their
neighbors' sons and daughters—the right to live and prosper
as Americans.
The one great honor we owe those who have died, the only
memorial that is worth the building, is the preservation of
jthe things for which they fought,, the maintenance of that
unity of, .purpose s.sr Americans, jwhich must be the,<?prn§i
stone;'of >thk~vro*i^^ was. 'yf'onM
tne. 9(!aii]Hiim^W'it^^ tlie Sasa
the THiity that lie's buried" in Arlington; and in unmarked,
graves all over the world, is the unity that we must preserve
in the days to come.
.'Mem'oitfal Day is a holy day. And on this day we must
renew our pledge to these who have gone on, that we may be
worthy of the sacrifice which they, our fellow Americans,
have made.
±A Worthwhile Project
„ She was one of those war brides who looked like a school
child—until you saw the ring.
, 'No," she said, "I don't know what Bob will do after the
war. He was just through college. . .
"But," she laughed, "I'll have a career figured out for
him." .
My eyebrows elevated with interest.
She hurried on. "We decided—Bob and I—that I'd watch
the paper and magazines and keep my eyes open for new
developments that might interest him. Bob.was.a" chemistry
major.
"I have a whole scrapbook of clippings," she confided,
'"about lines of work I think he might like. At least he'll have
a starting point when he gets out of the Army."
I nodded. "A very smart idea."
. "We think there are going to be lots of opportunities," my
companion added earnestly.
"There should be, "I agreed. "A lot depends on what kind
of break industry gets after the war?
*M "I know." She nodded. "I'm pretty dumb, but even I,can
W' see that businessmen and investors have to have some incen-
w tive.
"But still—" she laughed—"I'm an optimist! I think the
government has just got to see that good business means
jobs—and jobs mean purchasing power—and purchasing
power means more business and—well, so on.
t "Seems simple," she summed up. "Just let business really
keep going."
Well, her reasoning looked sound enough to me, too. I
hoped, as I said goodbye, that there were many more young
women as alert and aware of the stream of events as this
one. Scanning the horizon for a spot of opportunity for your
serviceman—that's a fairly worthwhile project, don't you
think ?

German Souvenirs in

Maybe you don't know it, but Jap leaders are drinking
toasts to America.
They count on us to let down. They think we will get tired.
But there are 35 millions of Japs working seven days a week,
14 to 16 hours a day. In addition, 400 million conquered
slaves producing raw materials, finished weapons of war and
foodstuffs. And even if tired, they can't let down.
It's a long way from Germany to Tokyo, 14 thousand miles,

Articles Collected from Battlefield Sent Home by Pfc!
Paul Fosnight
An interesting and valuable collection of souvenirs from the battlefields of Europe are on display
in the window of Durkins market
on South Main St. this week.
It is assumed he got them from
soldiers on the battlefield as most
of the articles are well used.
The collection includes German
unit designations, coins from most
countries on the continent, a German Iron Cross and other badges,
a pair of wings, flare chutes, a
German razor, paner money, and
small side arms. There is also an
American bazooka shell and a grenade.
A huge sheep skin coat,'a"sheep
lined vest and a rabbit skin coat
form a background for the smaller
items in the display.
Other articles of clothing such
as arm bands" and hats are also included in the collection. ""
have been almost completely forgotten in the growth of the village.
Composed of biographical sketches of the folks who started North
Canton, the book tells how Leonard iWfllatt^an carhe from eastern
P€nnsi^&ania*f in 180G and settled
in ,PT^t'^i*3iwnship, .iust south of
North" Canton. At that time the
district* "WfljE*^ almost an unbroken
forest and was over run by wolves,
deers, hears, and there were even
a few remaining Indians.
There is also a section telling
about Catherine and George Nodle
who settled in the south east section of Lake township, coming from
Maryland in 1805. They were the
first settlers to pass through th"?
country from Greentown to North
Canton, then called New Berlin.
While the men cut down the trees
to clear a road, Catherine Nodle cut
the underbrush with a bitcher-
knife. She also traded salt for
deer with the Indians, who were
very friendly.
Peter Pierson is another early
settler mentioned. Born near Bedford, France, he was drafted into
the French army and served with
Napoleon in Austria. He settled in
Plain township near the North Canton cemetery in 1828 and operated
a very fine brewry there.
Sarah and David Shook were
also old settlers in North Canton,
coming here in 1S10. They helped
clear the section of land one mile
south of New Berlin and were
noted for their maple sugar and
syrup which they caught in hollow
logs, three feet long. The school
on Everhard road was for many
years known, as Shook school.
Everhead road was named for
Henry Everhard who came to Ohio
in 1810 and settled on the Canton-
New Berlin road. In 1812 he built
a grist mill, from which he made
very good flour.
Jacob Gaskin, one of nine hundred liberated slaves which had been
owned by a man in Virginia, settled
on a section of land near what is
now the south end of North Canton. Because he was the only colored person in the district he was
obliged to give bond for p-ood behavior. He was the first "Negro to
vote in Plain township and at his
death owned 375 acres of land.
Among the many others who are
mentioned in the hook, are Eizabeth
and Michael Bitzer, who were so
hospitable to the Union soldiers
that their horns on the south east
corner of the square was given the
name of the "Soldiers Home";
Michael Bitzer and Benjamin Lich-
tv, who were the first to observe
Memorial day at Zion cemetery:
Benjamin Lichty who was one of
the finet coverlet and carpet makers in this part of the countrv and
the first person to solicit aid for
Union soldiers in Plain township;
Peter Schick, the first tailor, the
first cost master and the owner of
the first dry goods store in New
Berlin; John Reemsnyder. the first
undertaker in New Berlin; and
Jacob Mohler, who brought the
first daguerreotvDe to New Berlin.
Many of the other names of local
families mentioned in this earlv.

short leave. He is leaving this
Thursday to return to the west
coast to return to duty.

air strikes by carrier plane against
Tokyo and hasn't missed an important Western Pacific assult since
then. Her gunners shot down six
enemy olanes at Okinawa and contributed to the pre-invasion bombardment of both Okinawa and Iwo
Jima.
In March she was part of the
carrier task.force that rained destruction on Kyushu and Honshu in
the Japanese heartland.
From the war's early days she
had fought the Japs in the Aleutians, in operations leading to the
occupation of the Gilbert Islrmds,
in the Tawara invasion, the seizure
of the Marshalls, Eniwetok and
Kwajalein and in the Marianas
campaign.
She helped blast the Japs at Saipan, Guam and Tinian and was the

nine enemy planes and sunk one-
transport.
Horse Show So be

some of them coming from as far
away as Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
The entries include some of the
outstanding iumpers in the country
as well as other exceptional horses.
Memorial day, 1945 will not be
observed by many Americans as a
holiday for picnics and pleasure.
For Memorial day, dawning over
so many new graves and sorrow
shadowed homes means just what
its name signifies—a day of memory.
In this year, 19-15, with war still
dominating the lives and dreams of
America, it is a day for stern appraisal, for looking ahead as well
as remembering the past.
Thousands of American men, so
gay and courageous and full of life
a year ago, lie in quiet graves this
year. There are no more picnics, no
more moonlit nights and sun filled
days. Forever lost their laughter,
forever still their footsteps along
the streets of home.
There is a pledge that America
owes to these men and to their
families and their children. They
must not have died in vain!
Memorial day,- 1945. comes in the
middle of the seventh war loan
drive sponsored and conducted by
the people of America. Marble
shafts and noble words can mean
little to those who have died for
freedom. But the living money and
the pledge of a free people to fight
for the cause in which they died
can help in some small measure to
atone for their loss.
Never before have the American
people been asked to give as much
as thev are being asked now—but
never has the cause been preater or
tlie need more vital. Millions of
men in thr> Pacific have begged the.
folks hack home not to forget
them.
The war is still in -progress —
a grim bloody, day by day struggle
to fight a foe strongly entrenched
near his own home base. There can
be no let down for the men who
must take each of those islands.
And before the last gun has sounded there will be many more graves
on sloping hillsides or rocky island
plains.
Dollars invested now, in the Seventh War Loan drivecould help to
bring some df these men back hornf
alive. Dollars spent now to buy
fighting equipment and ammunition, medical supplies, all the protection and care that our men deserve. Not dollars we mav be able

They Must Not Have Died In Vain!
Memorial Day 1945
Memorial Day is not a holiday but a holy day. Memorial
Day is a pause in which to remember, those who died In all
our wars, those who perished in the last great holocaust, as
well as those who are dying in the inferno of the present war.
. Memorial Day* is a solemn day—one on which we, as a nation, should objectively consider the mistakes of the past,
and calmly face the problems of the future, resolving that
never again will we pay the price of a neglected duty.
> Memorial Day is a day on which we are all only Americans.
We do not think of celebrating it by groups of class or, race
or. creed. Whatever group loyalties bind us at other times—on
this day of the year we are only brother Americans.
*- In his tribute to the late President of'.the United States on

the American people. He knows that there is no question of
race on the beachheads and no question.of creeds in a foxhole. He knows that, as every race and creed have mingled in

In war we are all one people. Our boys do not die as rich
•rtr poor, workingman or employer, Black or White, native
born or naturalized citizen, Protestant, Catholic, or Jew. They
die as Americans. We honor them as Americans who gave
their lives that there might not perish from the earth the
ideals of justice and liberty of all men, regardless of their

±A Worthwhile Project
„ She was one of those war brides who looked like a school
child—until you saw the ring.
, 'No," she said, "I don't know what Bob will do after the
war. He was just through college. . .
"But," she laughed, "I'll have a career figured out for
him." .
My eyebrows elevated with interest.
She hurried on. "We decided—Bob and I—that I'd watch
the paper and magazines and keep my eyes open for new
developments that might interest him. Bob.was.a" chemistry
major.
"I have a whole scrapbook of clippings," she confided,
'"about lines of work I think he might like. At least he'll have
a starting point when he gets out of the Army."
I nodded. "A very smart idea."
. "We think there are going to be lots of opportunities," my
companion added earnestly.
"There should be, "I agreed. "A lot depends on what kind
of break industry gets after the war?

W' see that businessmen and investors have to have some incen-

"But still—" she laughed—"I'm an optimist! I think the
government has just got to see that good business means
jobs—and jobs mean purchasing power—and purchasing
power means more business and—well, so on.
t "Seems simple," she summed up. "Just let business really
keep going."
Well, her reasoning looked sound enough to me, too. I
hoped, as I said goodbye, that there were many more young
women as alert and aware of the stream of events as this
one. Scanning the horizon for a spot of opportunity for your
serviceman—that's a fairly worthwhile project, don't you
think ?

German Souvenirs in
Durkin Window Display
Maybe you don't know it, but Jap leaders are drinking
toasts to America.
They count on us to let down. They think we will get tired.
But there are 35 millions of Japs working seven days a week,
14 to 16 hours a day. In addition, 400 million conquered
slaves producing raw materials, finished weapons of war and
foodstuffs. And even if tired, they can't let down.

Articles Collected from Battlefield Sent Home by Pfc!
Paul Fosnight
An interesting and valuable collection of souvenirs from the battlefields of Europe are on display
in the window of Durkins market
on South Main St. this week.
It is assumed he got them from
soldiers on the battlefield as most
of the articles are well used.
The collection includes German
unit designations, coins from most
countries on the continent, a German Iron Cross and other badges,
a pair of wings, flare chutes, a
German razor, paner money, and
small side arms. There is also an
American bazooka shell and a grenade.
A huge sheep skin coat,'a"sheep
lined vest and a rabbit skin coat
form a background for the smaller
items in the display.
Other articles of clothing such
as arm bands" and hats are also included in the collection. ""
have been almost completely forgotten in the growth of the village.
Composed of biographical sketches of the folks who started North
Canton, the book tells how Leonard iWfllatt^an carhe from eastern
P€nnsi^&ania*f in 180G and settled
in ,PT^t'^i*3iwnship, .iust south of
North" Canton. At that time the
district* "WfljE*^ almost an unbroken
forest and was over run by wolves,
deers, hears, and there were even
a few remaining Indians.
There is also a section telling
about Catherine and George Nodle
who settled in the south east section of Lake township, coming from
Maryland in 1805. They were the
first settlers to pass through th"?
country from Greentown to North
Canton, then called New Berlin.
While the men cut down the trees
to clear a road, Catherine Nodle cut
the underbrush with a bitcher-
knife. She also traded salt for
deer with the Indians, who were
very friendly.
Peter Pierson is another early
settler mentioned. Born near Bedford, France, he was drafted into
the French army and served with
Napoleon in Austria. He settled in
Plain township near the North Canton cemetery in 1828 and operated
a very fine brewry there.
Sarah and David Shook were
also old settlers in North Canton,
coming here in 1S10. They helped
clear the section of land one mile
south of New Berlin and were
noted for their maple sugar and
syrup which they caught in hollow
logs, three feet long. The school
on Everhard road was for many
years known, as Shook school.
Everhead road was named for
Henry Everhard who came to Ohio
in 1810 and settled on the Canton-
New Berlin road. In 1812 he built
a grist mill, from which he made
very good flour.
Jacob Gaskin, one of nine hundred liberated slaves which had been
owned by a man in Virginia, settled
on a section of land near what is
now the south end of North Canton. Because he was the only colored person in the district he was
obliged to give bond for p-ood behavior. He was the first "Negro to
vote in Plain township and at his
death owned 375 acres of land.
Among the many others who are
mentioned in the hook, are Eizabeth
and Michael Bitzer, who were so
hospitable to the Union soldiers
that their horns on the south east
corner of the square was given the
name of the "Soldiers Home";
Michael Bitzer and Benjamin Lich-
tv, who were the first to observe
Memorial day at Zion cemetery:
Benjamin Lichty who was one of
the finet coverlet and carpet makers in this part of the countrv and
the first person to solicit aid for
Union soldiers in Plain township;
Peter Schick, the first tailor, the
first cost master and the owner of
the first dry goods store in New
Berlin; John Reemsnyder. the first
undertaker in New Berlin; and
Jacob Mohler, who brought the
first daguerreotvDe to New Berlin.
Many of the other names of local
families mentioned in this earlv.
historv are Holls. Schrantz. Hill, t
Lesh. Wolf, Schlott. Saylor, Schrei- I
ner, Essig, Hower. Hoover. Meckel, i

Louis B.- Wise, A. 0. M. 3/c,
son of Carl Wise of Route 1. Uniontown has left* for San Diego,
Calif., to report for duty after
spending a 10 day leave at home.
ent Pacific Fleet in attacks on

G arrived home last Tuesday on a
short leave. He is leaving this
Thursday to return to the west
coast to return to duty.

air strikes by carrier plane against
Tokyo and hasn't missed an important Western Pacific assult since

enemy olanes at Okinawa and contributed to the pre-invasion bombardment of both Okinawa and Iwo
Jima.
In March she was part of the
carrier task.force that rained destruction on Kyushu and Honshu in
the Japanese heartland.
From the war's early days she
had fought the Japs in the Aleutians, in operations leading to the
occupation of the Gilbert Islrmds,
in the Tawara invasion, the seizure
of the Marshalls, Eniwetok and
Kwajalein and in the Marianas
campaign.

outstanding iumpers in the country
as well as other exceptional horses.
Memorial day, 1945 will not be
observed by many Americans as a
holiday for picnics and pleasure.
For Memorial day, dawning over
so many new graves and sorrow
shadowed homes means just what
its name signifies—a day of memory.
In this year, 19-15, with war still
dominating the lives and dreams of
America, it is a day for stern appraisal, for looking ahead as well
as remembering the past.
Thousands of American men, so
gay and courageous and full of life
a year ago, lie in quiet graves this
year. There are no more picnics, no
more moonlit nights and sun filled
days. Forever lost their laughter,
forever still their footsteps along
the streets of home.
There is a pledge that America
owes to these men and to their
families and their children. They
must not have died in vain!
Memorial day,- 1945. comes in the
middle of the seventh war loan
drive sponsored and conducted by
the people of America. Marble
shafts and noble words can mean
little to those who have died for
freedom. But the living money and
the pledge of a free people to fight
for the cause in which they died
can help in some small measure to
atone for their loss.
Never before have the American
people been asked to give as much
as thev are being asked now—but
never has the cause been preater or
tlie need more vital. Millions of
men in thr> Pacific have begged the.
folks hack home not to forget
them.
The war is still in -progress —
a grim bloody, day by day struggle
to fight a foe strongly entrenched
near his own home base. There can
be no let down for the men who
must take each of those islands.
And before the last gun has sounded there will be many more graves
on sloping hillsides or rocky island
plains.
Dollars invested now, in the Seventh War Loan drivecould help to
bring some df these men back hornf
alive. Dollars spent now to buy
fighting equipment and ammunition, medical supplies, all the protection and care that our men deserve. Not dollars we mav be able
